"My Boys" Season 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jordana Spiro

Jordana Spiro plays P.J. Franklin on "My Boys". You might have also seen her in "Alone With Her", "Partner(s)", and "Must Love Dogs". She also appeared in episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Beverly Hills, 90210" early in her career. The other three incorrect actresses co-starred with Jordana in "Alone With Her" and "Must Love Dogs".

Answer: Chicago

During the opening title sequence you can see famous Chicago landmarks, including Wrigley Field. The names of the Chicago newspapers and the Cubs are mentioned in every episode.

Answer: Sports writer

P.J. is a sports writer for the "Chicago Sun Times" and gets to cover the Cubs games. Her ex-boyfriend Bobby is also a sports writer, but for the rival newspaper, "Chicago Tribune".

Answer: Lucas

Brendan is her best friend/roommate played by Reid Scott. Andy is her brother, married with kids, played by Jim Gaffigan. Kenny is her friend played by Michael Bunin. Her other boys include: Bobby, ex-boyfriend and rival sports writer played by Kyle Howard, and Mike, a friend played by Jamie Kaler.

Answer: Northwestern University

We learned this at least once in the episode "Released" when P.J. and Stephanie meet a former classmate, Keith. In the episode "Baseball Myths" we learned that P.J. and Brendan made out in college and that they went to school with Stephanie, which we already knew to be Northwestern University. Northwestern University is in Evanston, Illinois.

Answer: Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field

Wrigley field as played host to Major League Baseball since 1914 and home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916. Wrigley Field is the second-oldest ballpark, behind Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox. The ballpark was originally known as Weegham Park, then to Cubs Park, and then to Wrigley Field in 1926. The Chicago White Sox play at U.S. Cellular Field. Has anybody else noticed how in shows and movies based in Chicago, the characters are always Cubs fans and never White Sox fans?
And incase it confused you, the Detroit Tigers play at Comerica Park, not the Cleveland Indians.

Answer: Crowley's

The gang will often find themselves at Crowley's for happy hour. One of the bartenders at Crowley's is listed as a regular cast member - but will have to pay close attention to those scenes to recognize him. I particularly enjoy the large board game selection that Crowley's has which we saw in the episode "Free Agent" when the boys play their annual decathlon.

Answer: Johnny Galecki

An often recognized actor, Johnny Galecki first became famous as David on "Roseanne", was absolutely fantastic in "Suicide Kings" and has a starring role in the TV series "The Big Bang Theory". Although looks like them, he is not related to the Masterson brothers including Danny of "That '70s Show" fame. Trouty is a friend of Kenny's, who the gang doesn't particularly like for various reasons, but Galecki is such a great actor that Trouty does make a couple of appearances.

Answer: The Streisand

I hope you didn't say that out loud! 'The Streisand' can only be whispered as we learned in the episode "Take One for the Team". Trouty is tight with the owner of the hot new club, Steve, and is able to get P.J. and her boys in until Steve comes onto P.J. and the boys let slip that they are not really friends with Trouty.

Answer: Chicago Blackhawks

Mike had a job in the front office of the Chicago Cubs, when he was let go, Bobby felt bad for not telling him that he knew it was going to happen so he got him an interview with the Chicago Blackhawks. Mike did not get that job since in the interview he said he was going to sign Wayne Gretzky; he didn't even know that Gretzky had retired years earlier!
